Múlt és Jövő, zsido irodalmi muveszeti, tarsadalmi és kritikai folyóirat [Past and Future, periodical for literature and criticism]. Founded and edited by József Patai. About 180 issues bound in 17 volumes. Budapest, 1922-1940. Hungarian.
The literary periodical "Múlt és Jövő [Past and Future]" was founded in 1911 and was published for 33 consecutive years. It was edited by the poet and Zionist activist József Patai (1882-1953). "This was a fighting Zionist periodical; Patai organized trips to Palestine, published translated works by authors and poets from Palestine and nurtured young talents in Hungary, while struggling with the assimilation tendencies of the official, anti-Zionist, community that supported Jewish-Hungarian patriotism" (Naftali Kraus, “'Past and Future' and a grey present in between,” in: "Kesher", vol. 7, Tel-Aviv, 1990).
The publication was profusely illustrated by and with works of leading Jewish artists of the period, including Ephraim Moshe Lilien, Hermann Struck, Jacob Steinhardt, Lesser Uri, Shlomo Yudovin and others, as well as pictures and photographs of settlements, events and personalities from the Yeshuv in Palestine.
Enclosed: Two additional issues of the periodical, dated November 1916 and September-October 1935.
Seventeen bound volumes, approx. 27 cm. Condition varies. Good overall condition. Slight damages. Detached or partly detached leaves in some of the volumes.
